Colourful pictures from Prince Charles and Camilla's 3 country tour of West Africa

A beaming Charles has been videoed joining in with Ghanaian traditional dancers and getting stuck into cultural displays in The Gambia.

Charles bust out his moves, teaching a thing or two to Prime Minister Theresa May who, rather stiffly, danced to Abba's Dancing Queen on stage at the Tory conference earlier this year before awkwardly attempting to dance with school children on the first day of a trade mission to Africa in August.

Charles is joined by Camilla on a tour that will span Ghana,Nigeriaand the Gambia will celebrate the 'U.K.'s dynamic, forward-looking partnerships with these Commonwealth Nations on a range of shared priorities.'   

This is The Prince of Wales’s first visit to Commonwealth Nations after the Commonwealth Heads of Government unanimously decided in April this year that he should succeed Her Majesty The Queen as the Head of the Commonwealth.
